The saying “Don’t buy the hype; buy what you like” is a good reminder that when it comes to purchasing luxury items such as watches, it’s important to buy what you personally enjoy and find aesthetically pleasing, rather than simply following the latest trends or hype surrounding certain brands or models.
Today, Daan gets started with his Oris Art Blakey Limited Edition. This 38mm steel watch moves comfortably between formal and sporty. With a Joseph Bonnie Bonklip style bracelet, it certainly leans toward the sporty side.
Speaking of sporty, on Lex’s wrist, we find his latest purchase, the ice-blue dial Tissot PRX. The watch has been getting a lot of buzz, and Tissot retailers are struggling to keep it in stock. However, after a reasonable wait, Lex is happy to call the watch his own. Nacho keeps it classy with his Cartier Tank Solo. You can read the story of how he won this watch in a photo contest here. He wears it on a Forstner 9-Row Beads Of Rice bracelet, giving the watch a new lease of life and making it the wrist accessory of choice this week.
Today’s topic is hype and hype watches. They discuss their experiences with hype and how they navigate this tricky topic. Daan shares his unique perspective as a member of RedBar Amsterdam, where he spends every month with people and watches – a precarious position for those partial to hype. Overall, the discussion brought them back to Watches And Wonders 2023, an event noticeably lacking hype. They also touched on the topic of watch brands creating hype and the hype watches they would like to buy when they have the opportunity.
When shopping for a luxury replica watch, take the time to research different brands and models, and consider factors such as style, functionality, and durability. Don’t be swayed by marketing hype or the opinions of others; instead, choose a watch that you truly love and that will bring you joy and satisfaction for years to come.
